Horticulture student Fiona Brown has to create a poster as part of the Hardy Ornamental Nursery Stock: Container Production module. Fiona explains: "I have to create a poster and present it. This was tricky to create as I don’t see with one eye to check all my boxes were at the same level. Also, with having dyspraxia, trying to convert information to a poster format was tricky at times as one bit felt like 1984’s Doublespeak to try understand what was actually meant."
